Mike,

I have the lens and am very happy wth it.

For a very good review that includes quite a few test shots see here (http://194.100.88.243/petteri/pont/Reviews/a_Sigma_12-24_f4.5-5.6/a_Sigma_EX_12-24_f4.5-5.6.html)

Cheers

Thanks for the review. I was really curious to see how this lens worked, and the reviews so far make it hard for me to decide between this one and the 17-40L

I'm facing the same dilemma! Or maybe 15-30 sigma ??

Hi,

I understand Tokina has come up with their own version of 12-24mm... but not sure about the introduction date or price.

I am more interested to get a Tokina wide rather than a Sigma.

Thanks
